Wyatt Johnston, the young star for the Dallas Stars, marked a standout performance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs by scoring two goals, including a shorthanded goal, as Dallas secured a 2-0 lead. Johnston's goals not only highlighted his scoring prowess but also set him among the elite in NHL playoff history. Celebrating his 21st birthday, he achieved his 10th and 11th career playoff goals, joining the ranks of few players who have scored as many before turning 21. His performance has been pivotal in Dallas' current playoff campaign, where he has scored seven goals in 2024. Notably, his second goal of the night was assisted by Jason Robertson.
